Sideline Jog Causes Losses

[SMU 86]

does Hawaii still do this nonsense? it is absurd. So much time wasted in the game.

Yes Hawaii still does this.

I don't see what the hang-up is about this with you SMU fans. We (Hawaii) been doing this for the last 12 years and haven't heard anyone on the Hawaii board complain about it. It may be kinda out-dated in this day and age of hurry-up type of offenses--aka(Oregon). Myself, I just think it's JJ's way of getting camera time and to let everyone know it's HIS offense and HE calls the shots.

But you guys are right about JJ's 2 minute offense, even when he was in Hawaii fans used to complain a lot about the lack of ugency of the coaches and players during this drill. JJ's clock and time-out management was ago in question a lot. Some things never change with the run and shoot offense. If you read the Hawaii board after a loss you will see the same complains about the coaches and players. About the only thing that is not the same between boards is this very topic.

No, Hawaii does NOT still do this. They signal in more plays. See video link to Hawaii vs Tulsa game.

it absolutely does cause loses. No doubt about it. Had we signaled in plays normally we win this game today.

I'd like to see less of it, for sure, but there are times when it is necessary. Not EVERY down, so I hope that we see more (some...any?) signaling next season to keep the opposition defenses on their toes, and perhaps on their backs, a little more often.

I think Baby Padron might need to spend more time speaking with Jones before every play, not less.
